Yeah, I'm in Japan, Osaka, right now. :)
First day:
Arrived safely in Narita, took several trains to finally arrive in Osaka, Dobutsuenmae. Lost my headphone pouch + HP cable on the train. Strange. Walked the wrong way and finally found my hotel. Quickly bathed and to meet Anna in Domemae station. Confirmed the lost of pouch and HP cable. Unable to contact Anna because didn't know how to connect to internet. Used a pen to write on a piece of paper, saying I'm who and looking for who, just like how people do in the airport. Met Anna and flailed a bit. Went to buy concert goods. Too many concert goods too pretty. I almost bought all. It started to rain so Anna and I hurried into the concert venue. We were seated at different place, so wasted almost 2 hrs waiting for NEWS. Took out my goods to have a look and read the pamphlet. People beside me all came. I fell asleep. 20 minutes before the concert I got too tired, so I stood up all the way, and pressed the recorder. Concert started. (Can I cont with my concert things?)
~*~*~*
Concert started. I screamed at the flying ship. Then the globe. Then the place darkened. And the music started. Couldn't comprehend the song, but then Massu was shown on the screen. Love it because it's all their dance movements, but the shadow of them. So cool. With their messages. I remembered Massu's last line, "You と一緒". Then it became Tegoshi, with "Summer Time" BGM if I was not wrong. It became Ryo with "Akaku" if I was not wrong. Then it was Pi with "Hoshi wo Mezashite", and he said "I hope you enjoy tonight". Then it was Shige. Wait. I remember Tegoshi being weeeek instead of summer time? There was one person with weeeek. Ok, probably Massu (Sakura Girl), Tegoshi (weeeek), Shige (Summer Time), Ryo (Akaku Moyuru Taiyo), Pi (Hoshi wo Mezashite). I really did not remember Kei's. But I thought there was purple coloured screen? Alright, I shall believe in that fan report that Kei did not have any opening with songs.
Kei started the con, and he introduced Pi. Red balloon blasted, Pi appeared. Pi introduced Tego if I didn't remember wrongly, then Ryo, then Massu, then Shige and finally Kei. Yes, just as what the fan report said, they walked to the middle, and Koi no ABO intro started. Right after it was weeeek. Then they changed to pink jackets and Sakura Girl started. It was during weeeek, they had fun in 3s. TegoMassuKei and RyoPiShige. I laughed hard during Mon's weeeek. Because first they showed TMK, then RPS. But RP were together and totally threw S aside. S tried to stick to P but P just pushed S away. Poor S went to TMK (actually KTM, or KMT) and K totally pushed S away. You could see that face on S. *laughs* By the way on Sun, S sticked to P but it seemed very awkward. And on Mon P totally pushed S away. I like it this way, since they do as they wish, not like trying to act very very close but it was all an act.
So SG continues. And when it ended, the atmosphere and colour changed, and it went into Summer. Summer Time started. There were pink petals!! How I wished I was in the arena seat! That was for SG, sorry. Nothing special during ST. SG the camera focused on Massu's hand at the end. And I love how they were all singing live. Some doubts about Pi's "hakanai kara, kirei nan datte sa", shall listen to the recording again. Then the place turned red, for Autumn, and it was Akaku. Everyone was running everywhere. Then for Winter, Hoshi wo Mezashite was sung. Pi probably lip sync during that "yukou" part. But at least he sung live for many other parts. :)
They went back to the center stage, changed their clothes? Can I listen to the recording while writing all these? I should. Alright, so HwM ended. And they've already changed. In middle stage, with fire. Very cool dance. Really love the dance. Can imagine the dance right now. Then after that, Tegomass went away, leaving the 4s to chat slightly. By the way, on Mon's opening, when Ryo was introduced in that balloon, the effect was kind of too strong or something, and it totally gave Ryo a BIG SHOCK. Instead of saying hello and all. He was chanting "bikkurishita~" The feathers were blown into his hair. Poor Ryo.
~*~*~*~
Shall continue with the concert tomorrow. I will finish the first day and that's it. After the concert I met Anna again. We had dinner together, and we nearly got lost. *laughs* That Katsu don was good. :) Then we had a chat. And my first day ended with me going back to hotel. :)
